Program mix and student pathways explain much of the earnings story.
Louisiana State University and Agricultural & Mechanical College's program mix is anchored in Business, which accounts for 22% of graduates, followed by Engineering at 12% and Education at 9%. That business-heavy concentration reflects the university's land-grant identity and its deep ties to regional industries in energy, agriculture, construction, and professional services. Across 63 programs serving roughly 4,989 students annually, 48 meet Azimuth's program-ranking threshold, with several earning strong national positions. The highest-earning programs skew toward applied and technical fields. Construction Management leads with median earnings of $91,660 four years after enrollment from a cohort of 232 graduates, and Azimuth ranks the program #7 nationally for median earnings four years after enrollment among nonprofit four-year institutions. Business Administration follows at $64,590 with 221 graduates, and Subject-Specific Teacher Education produces 366 graduates earning $61,045. On the enrollment side, Subject-Specific Teacher Education is the largest program with 366 graduates earning $61,045, and Azimuth ranks it #8 nationally for median earnings four years after enrollment among nonprofit four-year institutions. The Biology, General program graduates 334 students with median earnings of $56,019, and the The Communication and The Media Studies program graduates 333 students earning $55,245. Several of these programs channel graduates directly into the workforce — construction management, nursing, and accounting are high-mobility pathways where four-year earnings closely reflect labor-market outcomes. Fields like Construction Management and Business Administration, by contrast, are more likely grad-school-dependent pathways where four-year earnings undercount the full trajectory for students who continue to graduate or professional school. The supply-demand map provides context for how Louisiana State University and Agricultural & Mechanical College's strongest program families align with national labor-market demand. ```
